What does this test Amphiphysin Antibody Test identify?

The Amphiphysin Antibody Test is used to identify the presence of autoantibodies against amphiphysin in the blood. Amphiphysin is a protein that plays a role in nerve cell communication and is found in high levels in the brain and spinal cord. The presence of amphiphysin antibodies can indicate certain neurological disorders, such as Stiff-Person Syndrome, paraneoplastic neurological syndromes, and some cases of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.

Why is this test Amphiphysin Antibody Test taken?

The Amphiphysin Antibody Test is taken to detect the presence of antibodies against amphiphysin in the blood. Amphiphysin is a protein found primarily in nerve cells and plays a role in the transmission of signals between nerve cells. Antibodies against amphiphysin are associated with certain neurological disorders such as Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) and paraneoplastic neurological disorders. This test is ordered when a healthcare provider suspects these conditions based on a patient's symptoms and medical history. Detection of amphiphysin antibodies can help in the diagnosis and management of these neurological disorders.
